Dr. Bruce G. Caldwell is the company's President and CEO. His background started with
25 years in the academic world as a Public School
Teacher, Coach, High School Principal, Superintendent
of Schools, University Professor, Author and
Lecturer. In the past 20 years, he has provided
leadership as a corporate officer of Pixel
Incorporated, Public Storage Inc., and Conroys Inc. before founding Ceramix
Golf Co. (now the Caldwell Golf Co., Inc. CGC) which was founded as a result of Dr. Caldwells
continuing interest in the performance characteristics
of an innovative composite clubhead. CGC has acquired two key patents in the past year
which are critical to the success of the company. The use of cork, AKA "Legal Cork®" as a legal addition to the cavity of a golf club, and Ryton, a sole plate
that allows CGC to manipulate the center of
gravity, offers protection against imitators
of our unique high-performance golf clubs. CGC operates from an
office and R&D facility located in Carlsbad,
California. CGC's final production and
assembly know-how, and its unique ceramic composite
formula are the exclusive property of CGC.
No other golf club company uses or has
any rights to use any part of the proprietary
know-how or technology. All trade names of the
present line of clubs are registered U.S. trademarks
and the existing logos and key descriptive phrases
are copyrighted in the USA.
